I don't think the show gave away Michael's death. The allusion the Narrator made was really subtle, IMO. If I hadn't known all these spoilers, I'd be really shocked by Michael's death. But that's so far. I don't know what's going to happen in the next episode. They might drop more hints.

Especially since it appears like she's gone in the flash forward and that happens in two episodes.

I wonder if they know the spoilers coming up? Or how they'll feel after Michael's death and the flash forward.

My impression is that most people don't know or don't believe. I get it - it is a little weird that such a major plot point was leaked, right?

It was an unintentional leak - Ivonne Coll just let it slip in an interview.

I am enjoying this disbelief people have! Although I will be sad to see Michael get killed, I am enjoying people’s reaction. On reddit and tumblr people just cannot believe this is coming. They are like “last breath” already happened! How did last breath already happen if Michael is still breathing? Then the “alas” comment they took as Michael is not going to be a lawyer but go back to being a detective. Really? Is that a reason the narrator will be sad? Michael wants to be a detective, there is nothing sad about that.

I know this is mean (and who knows if Michael returns from the dead and Jane chooses to be with him again, this might come to bite me in the a$s) but I am enjoying the people who are crying saying this is not the show they loved. Well for half of a season we felt the same way We felt hurt and cheated. Everything was basically taken away from us. This was not the show we loved. We were tricked for some time as well. It's fun to see other people in our place at the moment.

I don’t know how many times Jennie has talked about not following common telenovela tropes, but I know she has said countless amount of times that this show is a love letter to telenovela, it is a homage to telenovela, it is whimsical, it is a fairytale, it is about fate and destiny. Michael and Jane do not fit any of that for me, or for anyone to be honest. The only place Michael has ever fit that is in Michael’s head. Rafael and Jane fit those tropes. There is a reason everyone thinks J/M is an unusual couple, because this is not how the story is supposed to go. If we are talking about fairytales then they basically started the show with their version of once upon a time to introduce Jane, and then 8 miles but half a world away her destiny/fate/Prince Rafael. What Jennie has always said about doing differently is relatable characters. She does telenovela tropes. She does all of them! She just makes the characters more real than usual. So Rafael is not perfect prince charming of people’s fantasies, he has flaws. So Petra is not a complete villain, she has relatable emotions that drive her. Jane is not an innocent virgin, she knows sex, desperately wants sex.
We have said it over and over again, there is no way you can write a love letter to telenovela if you don’t think fate brought Rafael and Jane together. You can’t consider her insemination an accident, or as an obstacle for Jane/Michael.

Some know and it's partly in considering whether or not they want to keep watching. I get it. I've taken my JTV breaks and don't regret it.

I think some are getting roped into a discussion about it, though, and don't know or haven't heard. They're probably wondering why people are talking about it.

And yeah, there are a few who don't believe it (since the interview is in Spanish, it's not like everyone can watch and hear for themselve). And there are some who think it won't stick and Michael will come back from the dead. That is possible, and I considered it when we first heard of it, but the more we know about it, the less likely I think that's what's going to happen.

Ok, thanks for all the fandom reactions. I gave up following the fandom awhile ago. I think it was when J/M fans on Tumblr were saying that J/R fans that stopped watching were watching for the wrong reasons. And now they're threatening to stop watching.

I can understand the disbelief. I'd disbelieve it myself, except a couple of people here have translated the interview. And I trust those people. And that led to all the sides where Michael is yet to be found.

I wouldn't mind if he comes back from the dead. But the more info we get, the less likely it seems to be.

As I'm fairly sure that he will die due to complications involving his gunshot wound. I don't think it will be this dramatic event like the shooting itself, it will come out of nowhere. The simpler the death on a show like Jane the virgin, the more likely it is to stick. There is no reason for it to be a trick - he's no longer a cop, so witness protection wouldn't make sense. They've actually seemed to be shutting the doors on any possibility of it not sticking.

in one side where Rafael is talking about how he wants to find that love again with someone Jane nods. And the thought is she understands even though it is difficult to imagine right now. To me it came off as she can't imagine herself being in love again because Michael is gone. And again in the book she altered what happened to Michael, that is a big giveaway.

I don't think he would come back this season. Maybe in the last season or something. But I agree with everyone here. He's probably gone for good.

I don't have much to add. I don't really care for fandom reactions because their rafael hate is OTT anyway. I don't even hate Michael anymore. He just puts me to sleep.

Brett will be there with flashbacks in 3B.

so long as he is dead idfc. I was reading through tags on tumblr and now i just want his stans to suffer
